• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Bought to replace the near-mint, all-original '58 I sold.

All that grillwork bollocks came off, as did the back.

All you really need. Guitars have tone knobs. :hmm

Cool!! I've had my Tweed Champ made by Chris at Rift amps for about 2 years now, and its my only practice amp now, I play it everyday.

How does this reissue compare to the original you sold?

Seems about the same sound-wise, without the worries that come with a vintage amplifier.

It goes to 12, just like the old one. :)
